Courseload Prioritization
Hello! I am a sophomore and recently received my schedule for next year. I got into all four AP classes that I signed up for, which is excellent. Two of these classes are regarded as easier (AP French and AP Precalc), while two are widely known at my school as very hard (AP Chem and AP Physics). I will also be taking biotechnology as a college class, as well as two fairly easy history/literature classes, and an art class. I took AP Biology and two other science classes this year and I got an A in all of them. I am planning on applying to college for a biology major. Considering this, does anyone have any advice on how to prioritize my courseload next year? Also, this may be early, but does anyone have tips or tricks on how to get a 5 on any of those AP exams? Thanks so much!

Hey! I took AP physics 1 and 2 this school year and the course is based on a solid foundation. I would say to prioritize this class in the beginning of the year and focus on learning the content, not just getting good grades. The course is very interesting but also rigorous so make sure to be up for a challenge! Hope this helps :)

@ fnaf 2: My advice to you is to seek out people who did well on the exam before you (i.e. people one year older than you). Ask them about the format of the exam, their impressions, how they did, and whether if they know someone else who did well on the exam. Once you find that person, ask them what materials they used—what review books, what online review.
